“Alaina helped us out last minute. We had never used her before, but she was wonderful! Updated us daily with pics - was quick to respond - even took care of one our boys when he cut his paw on something in the backyard. When we got home from our travels the boys were super happy! Definitely feel comfortable having her watch my boys again!”
“Matt was amazing! Extremely tentative and very professional. He watched out 2 dogs and cat over an entire weekend. He sent regular pics and updates the whole time. Provided walks for our Golden and was extremely accommodating with our senior dog, as well, who has the typical senior dog needs and “white glove” care. We will definitely be booking Matt in the future. I would highly recommend.”
“Jaina was very responsive and communicative during our trip. This was my first time hiring a petsitter so I was already nervous, but my sheltie Piper does NOT like strangers so that added more stress. Jaina worked with us to have a few (loud) meet and greets with Piper to familiarize herself with her. It took a day but Piper soon warmed up to her and settled which allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. I'm very grateful to Jaina for handling our anxious dog and reassuring us with her daily and sometimes twice a day updates.”
About: I’ve been watching dogs for 12 years. I absolutely love dogs! (Who doesn’t) I know how much your animal means to you and I will treat them like my own. I am currently unemployed, so I have all the time in the world to walk, hang or chill with your dog. The only time I am unavailable are evenings due to volleyball. Other than that, I have a very open schedule. I treat your dog like my own. I will constantly look after them, play with them, train them, if you need, and most importantly, love them.
“Nancy was wonderful with Ozzie! She was very responsive and proactive throughout the weekend, and it was obvious how sweet and caring she was with him. She was also incredibly attentive and asked thoughtful, appropriate questions to make sure she understood his routine and that nothing was missed. We felt very comfortable knowing Ozzie was in such good hands and would absolutely recommend Nancy!”
“This is the first time we have used her and she was amazing! One of my cats is very shy and loved her from the beginning. We were out of town for quite a while and I never worried once. The pictures she sent daily proved they were happy. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was 5 years old. Lots of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Comfortable with all breeds. I’m available any time for any pet sitting or walking needs! I can stay over night or stop in to check up on your pet. I am very neat and will leave your house cleaner than you left it. Your pets will be in responsible loving hands while you’re away!
“Our 3 dogs absolutely loved Gianna. She took amazing care of them and was fully engaged in them and their needs. She followed any instructions perfectly and dogs were so happy. The boys got the royal treatment. They will be so excited when she comes back to see us. Ty Gianna”
About: I've been a pet lover my whole life! I've lived with cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, and birds. As a pet parent, I know how stressful it can be to find a good pet sitter or walker. Let me meet with your furry or scaley babies and see that I'm a great match! Currently, I have two large dogs, three fish tanks, and an ever-growing indoor plant collection. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am very flexible and will work with you to meet all your pet needs! I consider watching someone else's pet to be a major responsibility to be taken seriously. My pets' needs come first, always. Pets often need or expect routine and consistency. I'm more than happy to provide your pets and you with reassurance their needs will be met.
“Bethany did a wonderful job! She watched my two Bernese mountain dogs at my house and I returned to it cleaner than I left it. Our one dog is a puppy so I wanted to make sure his schedule was kept up since he’s nearly potty trained. Our older dog has been having some ear issues and takes medications. I know Bethany took great care of their special needs and that made vacation relaxing!”
“Molly was able to watch our dogs very last minute. She was a good communicator throughout the stay and was helpful about bringing in our packages. She also took the sheets off the guest bed before leaving, which we appreciated! Overall, a great experience!”
About: I attended BGSU, studying Criminal Justice and Forensic Investigation.I am a very outgoing, friendly, and loving person. I recently adopted my cat Gummy. Previously I’ve taken care of my aunt’s 5 dogs (2 of which are seniors) and 1 cat. I am very familiar with animal medications including: pill pockets, ear cream, topical skin cream, and liquid medicine. My cat Gummy has Stomatitis and Stage 2 Kidney Disease so I’m familiar with having to give gabapentin as well as other medicine. I understand the importance of animals who have medical needs and schedules. I love providing the care your fur babies need!
“Excellent communication. Dejaun was able to quickly connect with our dog, who can be skittish with new people. He sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. He stayed in our home and left it really neat. We will definitely contact DeJaun the next time we go out of town!”
“James is such a stellar person and catsitter! We left our two cats for the first time ever, and James kept them so safe and happy. He sent regular updates and wonderful photos. We can't say enough good things about him. I hope everyone is lucky enough to hire him. Thanks again, James. We look forward to working with you again. You're simply the best!”
About: I have been a dog-lover as far back as I can remember. I can provide a loving home for your dog and ease the anxiety of being apart. I am trustworthy and dependable. Being a pet owner myself, I understand fully that our pets become valued members of our families and should be treated as such. I will make sure that your pet receives lots of love, adequate exercise, and playtime in addition to the essentials. I live in a nice neighborhood conducive to walks and I am also near several parks should we crave a change of scenery. I work part-time, but my schedule is flexible. Between myself and my daughter, our Rover guests are rarely left alone. I enjoy an active lifestyle and look forward to meeting you and your pet! Questions are welcome! Thank you for your consideration!
“Makenna is very responsible and always on time. We used her during my doctor appointments. She is experienced with dogs and both my dogs love her. I will definitely hire her again when we come back in town!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kirtland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kirtland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kirtland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
